I bought one box. I want to have something to shoot if and when the 380 show up.
Striker stuck
I took my cw380 apart today. Reassembled it and racked the slide several times. Pulling the trigger revealed a different sound than usual. I see that the striker is cocked about half way and won't go forward no matter what I do. Any cures before I call K ? Thanks

Yeah that's good..........when S&W sent mine back after they serviced it, I just happened to buy a box of mag tech from the smith that handled the gun for me. I took it to the range and ran the box thru it without issues, also a box of hornady cd, which is what I carry in it. And that was it..........I went back the next day and bought a couple more, since he had some in stock. Every once in a while I'll shoot a couple of mags thru it, clean it and I'm good.
My CW380 didn't like the Winchester white box from Wally world. I found PMC Blazer at Cabela's online for 19.99 a box and free shipping a couple weeks ago...got 10 boxes...couldn't go wrong with FMJ round nose. BTW: Ran 150 rounds through my repaired P380 today without a hiccup....good to go...always debating which to carry...my CW380 or the P380...its the CW for now. Guess I'll trade one some day for a small 9mm to carry IWB.
With out knowing how many rds you run do you consider it broken in?Yeah that's good..........when S&W sent mine back after they serviced it, I just happened to buy a box of mag tech from the smith that handled the gun for me.

I hope I don't have the Winchester problem as I have several boxes. Checked Cabela's and didn't find any fmj 380's...darn.My CW380 didn't like the Winchester white box from Wally world.

Why did you pick the CW over the P?
I picked the CW just because it was cheaper and would be the first Kahr I bought. The wait was long and I was about to just buy the P380 when I came across the CW I bought. When the striker broke, for some silly reason, I bought a P380. Really fun guns to shoot at the range.
After it ran a full box of the mag tech and a box of the Hornady cd with no issues............I'm ok with it..........With out knowing how many rds you run do you consider it broken in?
